"The Weight of Chains is a Canadian documentary film that takes a critical look at the role that the US, NATO and the EU played in the tragic breakup of a once peaceful and prosperous European state - Yugoslavia. The film, bursting with rare stock footage never before seen by Western audiences, is a creative first-hand look at why the West intervened in the Yugoslav conflict, with an impressive roster of interviews with academics, diplomats, media personalities and ordinary citizens of the former Yugoslav republics. This film also presents positive stories from the Yugoslav wars - people helping each other regardless of their ethnic background, stories of bravery and self-sacrifice."

Weight Of Chains is one of the best ever documentaries I have seen on how and why the destruction of the sovereign country of Yugoslavia happened.

The "demonisation" of the Serbian people is one of the worst outrages of recent years and this documentary in some small way goes to readdress the balance and explains clearly and concisely how NATO and the IMF and the EU militarily and economically devastated the Balkan region.

I live in the UK and my only connection to the people of the former Yugoslavia is the love of their films so I have no bias either way but I know and injustice when I see one and the Serbian people are as much the victims as any one else.

It is interesting how the blueprint for the Balkan wars is now being used by the power elite in Libya. The same large-scale indiscriminate NATO bombings of civilians, the same alignment of military special operations personnel, western intelligence operatives and extremist Islamic groups (KLA in the Balkans and now Al Qaeda-Libyan Islamic Pary) as well as the assassinations and propaganda/media demonisation.
